Following Manuel Pellegrini’s revelation that he intends to continue with the club’s summer recruitment, the transfer rumours have been in full flow. The latest speculation has linked us with a move for the Lille defender, Kévin Malcuit.

According to France Football, as cited by Get Football News France, we’re interested in the services of the Lille right-back, Kévin Malcuit. It’s reported that we’re one of a whole host of clubs who are keen on his signature, and the likes of Inter Milan and Celta Vigo have held talks with the French club over a possible move.

Furthermore, we’re not the only Premier League club who are interested in signing the Frenchman; Fulham are also keen on the 26-year-old.

Verdict:

The French defender is exceedingly versatile; he can operate in defence or midfield. Furthermore, he is a very productive player; he amassed six assists in 23 league appearances for Lille last season. He’s regarded for his tremendous defensive qualities such as his superb intercepting skills, and his tackling ability is particularly good. He would be a solid acquisition.
